Prochlorperazine & Visual distriburance

[Sannah 258]

Prochlorperazine is the antinausea that I was given to take after surgery. Oh my goodness! I will never take this medication again. My vision is starting to return to normal, but as I took it my vision was so off!! My glasses would not help me, I could not see my iphone to operate it or text, i wasnt able to watch the tv either. It was a bummer to feel crumby from surgery and then have to lose my vision. It was determined by the pharmcy that this is a possible side affect. blah!! beware.. Hopefully this wont happen to you!

Best,

Hi Sannah,

How long after you took the med did you experience the vision loss? And how after you took the med did you begin to notice the vision problem.

Glad you're better! wow....

Same exact thing happened to me. I was sleeved on Nov 12 and was extremely nauseous. I was on multiple nausea meds, including the patch. I never turned the tv on or used my iPhone in the hospital so I never noticed the vision loss... Then I got home and about day 6 I attempted a text and panicked because the phone was a total blur. My surgeon said to remove the patch and it will go back to normal. I removed the patch, it left a scab! It was a very potent little tiny patch. About 2 -3 days after, it was back to normal. Phew!!

Hello,

I was in this med four 24 hours a day and a half later my vision is nearing normal. I can see pretty good to type this message. Previously I couldn't use my iPhone or pad at all. I also couldn't see myself in the mirror. My spects are starting to help again!! Feels good to see again!!!

Have you had surgery yet?

Best,

Sannah
